Visual artifacts with bodies in Fusion 360.

[Anonymous]

Hi all, I am having some issues with viewing 3d bodies in fusion 360. In some cases the models show, but riddled with black artifacts, other times being completely transparent. The grid background also appears to be missing. I'll post screenshots near the bottom along with my settings and gpu things copied from the graphics diagnostic tool in fusion.

My laptop does meet the minimum requirements for fusion EXCEPT for gpu RAM. My graphics card also only supports dx9. My instructors laptop which is of similar vintage (2007-9 ish) works flawlessly with fusion, and he has 256 mb of gpu RAM, and his graphics card i believe is an ATI mobility radeon 3xxx, I don't recall the exact model but fusion does say that it is using dx11.

My question to the community is are there any workarounds to this issue? It is frustrating that the only thing keeping me from using fusion is the one thing I cannot upgrade on my laptop. If there is no workaround, is there a specific issue causing these problems? (not enough gpu RAM, dx9 instead of a newer version, old drivers, etc.)

Hi @Anonymous

Thanks for posting! I would start troubleshooting by updating your graphics drivers - yours are from 2007. I usually update my drivers twice a year to keep Fusion running smoothly.

I hope this helps! Please let me know if you continue to see problems.
